   @james my pet theory is, that this is actually for big tech on market and competitor spying with their consent. Thread angle is simple: figure out who the user is, keep the records and transcripts at scale and you get in this highly competitive environment without user training a wide dataset of what others are doing.
   and with enough data collected you find angles to exploit that even more.

     The AI people think they’re developing “agentic technologies”, but what’s actually happening is they are becoming agents of technological capital.

     Being young and making lots of money as part of a mission you believe is changing the world is not a recipe for self-awareness
